Flat route with a great panorama

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

Pleasantly flat route on which you can enjoy the view of the mountains of the Jura, which rise next to and in front of you.

Weissenstein Pass summit (1279 m)

Highlight • Mountain Pass

The Weissenstein is the ultimate challenge on the Jura ridge. Both the climb on the north side and the even steeper one on the south side are challenging.

Once at the top, you'll be rewarded with a sensational view of the Central Plateau or the Jura all the way to France.

Weissenstein

Highlight • Viewpoint

A worthwhile excursion destination that, when the weather is clear, offers a unique view from Säntis to Mont Blanc. As is well known, many roads lead "to Rome". You can get up and, if you want, "over" the mountain by car, bike or cable car. The "Weissenstein" hotel and spa is the gastronomic flagship of the Weissenstein and is praised not only for its huge viewing terrace, but also for the quality of the food on offer. Numerous flat paths and paths that are also suitable for strollers and wheelchairs run across the Weissenstein. Those who like to put a sausage in the fire will be tempted by well-furnished barbecue areas.

The first mountain range north of Solothurn. The Jura limestone is unmistakable in its form and in its west-east distribution. Just lovely!
